Israel National News TV takes a look at two Israeli developments at the annual Israel Defense exhibition (ISDEF 2010). The two weaponry developments were produced by the "Silver Shadow" company and are aimed at improving the use of personal weapons in combat.

The Gilboa is an assault rifle "based on the M-16, but with all the necessary improvements" and the Corner-Shot is a special Israeli technology which allows soldiers to shoot from behind a corner with the use of video camera and a special rotating rifle.

Israelis are smart in this field. Rather than reinventing the wheel, they extensively test existing weapons, manage to get to its weaknesses and upgrade those weaknesses in another very similar looking model. DRDO duds need to learn from them.

Yaa, I agree with Tshering bhai. When will our DRDO accept the working and helping nature of the private companies? The day the DRDO does that, it will also be a good competitor in the field of defence equipment sales.
